Oops. Forgot where I was for a moment and just wrote a very long post about software that I have since deleted.

More shrinkage…. really only funny if its not you.

For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive – but would run on only five percent of the roads.
The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single “General Protection Fault” warning light.
The airbag system would ask “Are you sure?” before deploying.
Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
Every time GM introduced a new car, car buyers would have to learn to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
You’d have to press the “Start” button to turn the engine off.”

This is why I use Macs. When I need Windows to run something, I run it in virtual machines on a Mac!

Thank you, Price. Here’s another direct link to the article. http://www.usmedicine.com/2016-compendium-of-federal-medicine/va-pushed-to-recognize-immunization-air-injector-hcv-link/ So glad you got through to them!

Yesterday 30 PSA’s went up. When I went to check yesterday evening only a handful remained – BUT, every PSA that ‘sticks’ gets hundreds if not thousands of views over time.

We’ve got FixHepC members lobbying for affordable treatment in OZ, and NZ, and in Brazil, and in the US and UK, and the news is getting out. That is showing up in an apparent acceleration in recent forum joins.

You are right about a forum becoming ‘home’ to its members. At the end of the day, my own experience in marketing says we’re better off devoting our energy focusing on the FixHepC.com/forum as a primary destination (for people who have not already put down roots elsewhere), rather than attempting to win converts from the ranks of the already entrenched.

There are exceptions. We have members who are exceptionally good at identifying individual members of other forums who desperately need help and are not getting it, and are directing them to the resources here. I think of them as our ‘Robin Hood Squad’.

Your own efforts with the VA are just outstanding! If I can help you Price, please let me know how.

Perhaps you would be happier and better off somewhere else.

No problem.

ETA: We’ll have to fight our way out through the cobwebs!
